RIM confirms BB10 is coming to BlackBerry Playbook

And that's the truth

While there's no word on any new tablet hardware (the future of the PlayBook line is definitely in flux), existing owners will be relieved to hear that they'll benefit from the overhauled BlackBerry 10 OS - which is based on the same QNX platform as the current Playbook OS.

"We've said publicly a number of times that our first BB10 handset will be available towards the end of 2012, and that's still firmly the case," Rob Orr, RIM's VP of product management told us.

"At some point after the launch we'll bring BB10 to our PlayBooks, yes."
